Introduction

In this really short blog post we’re going to be showing the step by step process of upgrading your existing deploy of VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM) to the latest version (which at the time of writing is v2.1).

Why upgrade to vRSLCM 2.1?

• You can now manage the lifecycle of a VMware Identity Manager provider (i.e. change the vIDM configuration settings!).
• You can now remove single components/applications from a deployment without having to delete the whole deployment.
• You can now define product level certificates for vRealize Automation (i.e. separate IaaS Web and IaaS Manager certificates).

Full release notes for VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 2.1 can be found here .
